For other matchups: for example, PvZ on Knockout seems okay (51%) but PvT seems bad (41%)


Jesus, does KnockOut favor T these days? That PvT winrate really surprises me. It'd be tragic if it eventually becomes a T map like its predecessor.

Yes. The trench helps P from Hydra bust, but it also encourages T for Rax expand. On top of that, you couldn't come up with anything better for Terran to defend than the small triangle area outside that trench, and it's connected to a 3rd base on high ground, that tanks from your main can also shoot to. Terrans get their 3rd base up within 10 mins on this map. It's even easier than Vermeer, which was the map intended to be what Radeon is now, but eventually abandoned because Terran is too op on it. And the 4th and 5th bases on Knockout are not far away either.



Thanks for the knowledge, TMNT. It is very unfortunate.

Do you think Radeon is trending into a T map too?

So far it's doing okay. The win rate for P on Radeon is similar to what it is on Polypoid, with a reverse from PvZ to PvT:
- Polypoid: 46.9% PvZ - 48.2% PvT
- Radeon: 48.6% PvZ - 46.6% PvT
But what it seems to fix is TvZ, from 56.4% on Polypoid to 52.6% for Radeon.

Once again it agrees to the notion that concept maps are all Terran maps (positive win rate in both matchups) but at least in this case it reduces that advantage to around 52-53% (imo anything from 55% is unacceptable)/

A 4p map where TvP winrate is higher than TvZ is interesting. The games Terran played in each matchup are almost identical too (1,882 games vs Zerg and 1,871 games vs Protoss).

I wonder what the PvT challenges are on Radeon.

Here you go. It is not a good map by any means.

I dont know about ash but the snow maps are specifically avoided due to the white glare so you wont see them in competitive play.


this stopped being relevant 15 years ago

This is true. Koreans can even compete on OLED displays. They can relive the days of CRT glory and yet have perfect saturation which was the main issue with them. My screen has only the slightest dark to black oled lag. Things are different than they used to be.
What else, I think we can omit this risk aversiveness to tile set. It is only the latest ASL that Soulkey lost the title on the most visible space installation tile set to Effort in almost perfect contrast between dark purple on light blue. He didn't notice the creep due to fog of war.
Personally, it is just another feature of the game. Players may not notice units on the map, they may have to keep scouting on the mini map. It is just another level of map control skill to be ahead of the opponent. Let's not dumb down the game like something it is not.

Just got around to watch it with a friend and it was a perfectly disappointing finals for a mediocre season of ASL. The overall play was very sloppy, it made many games just uninteresting to watch and the finals were no exceptions. While the state of early game ZvP at the top always leaves a sour taste in my mouth, Snow just did not play well at all imho. Starting of with the first game, he did literally no adjustment for the map, just ground army and a couple shuttles, with his ground army sitting in the middle of the map for 20 minutes doing nothing... Yeah, he lost to some stupid hydra busts but lets not pretend he did well vs the ling run-bys (every single game...) or his building placement. The last map was just a straight up stomp, unbelievable. And I don't think Soma played particularly well (for finals of ASL). But it was enough for a poor demonstration by Snow.

Note: I'm talking relative performance. Of course both players are some of the best BW has right now. I'm just not impressed with their current performance compared to what they have shown in the past.

Good video on Snow’s biggest problem.

Tldw: Snow’s specialty is pure reaver micro but it doesn’t work well vs Zerg and his optimisation is poor.

Alot of Protoss like to complain about PvZ balance but this series just ain’t it.

It wouldn't make any difference. You are literally putting %50 of the map pool in the party who doesn't know radeon is antiprotoss map. Even without my contribution, you'd have tipped pvt and that would tip the scales for other matchups, too. Don't mention me in the same sentence with noobs.
